Last month, in the state of Bihar, parents crossing the walls of an exam centre to help the students cheat during Board exams came into light. Reflecting flaws in our education system, another story from the State has come into notice wherein a test checker found a 100-rupee note diligently taped to an answer sheet, by a student.

Lalkeshwar Prasad Singh, the chairman of the Bihar State Examination Board however said that he is quite satisfied with the evaluation process of the education system at large. He informed that he had been touring the state, in order to ensure fairness and competence.However, the evaluators checking the answer sheets seem to need some help for them too. According to a report published on the NDTV website, Tamanna Ali who is evaluating English answer papers, at a school in Saharsa district, when asked to spell 'Shakespeare', replied: "S-h-a-k-s-p-e-a-r.

Another examiner who was correcting the Mathematics paper, when asked about the relevance of the Pythagoras theorem taught to children in Class 9, gave a confused look. Asked to spell 'Mathematics,' he replied: "M-a-t-h-m-a-t-e-s."

In UP Board, Hindi teachers are found to be checking the Mathematics paper. The country's fate seems to be in danger, with such incidents being reported, every now and then.
